# PyPlanet Article Sharer Django App

## About

Last week we kicked off [100 days of Django](https://pybit.es/special-100days-of-code.html) and this is our first Django app!

This app lets you import [Planet Python's feed](http://planetpython.org) into an SQLite DB. 

The Django front-end shows the articles in a table:

![article home](assets/article-home.png)

Upon clicking each link it shows the parsed data and action buttons:

![article detail](assets/article-detail.png)

The "Tweet this" button uses Twitter's [Web Intents](https://dev.twitter.com/web/intents) (redirect to generated link) 

![twitter-intent](assets/twitter-intent.png)

You can update the article as "Shared" or "Skipped" which is updated in the DB:

![save state](assets/save-state.png)

## Try it yourself!

1. clone this repo:

		$ git clone git@github.com:pybites/pyplanet-django.git

2. make venv and install dependencies:

		$ python3 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate

		(venv) $ pip install -r requirements.txt

3. create DB tables (admin stuff to be added):

		(venv) $ python manage.py migrate

		Operations to perform:

		Apply all migrations: admin, articles, auth, contenttypes, sessions

		Running migrations:

		Applying contenttypes.0001_initial... OK

		...

		...

		Applying sessions.0001_initial... OK

4. run the [management command](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-management-commands/) to import Planet Python's feed:

		(venv) $ python manage.py importfeed

		Article id 1 created

		Article id 2 created

		...

		...

		Article id 25 created

		25 articles added

5. run local server: 

		(venv) $ python manage.py runserver

6. browse to [http://127.0.0.1:8000/](http://127.0.0.1:8000/)

## TODOs

* Deploy to Heroku or PythonAnywhere

* Add `importfeed` command to a cronjob

* Add user authentication and tracking who edits what (already field in the model)

* Integrate Twitter API so green "Mark Shared" button can be made redundant
